Quping Naval Shipyard, plus Luohai Shipyard in Nanhai Prefecture, Fengyang Naval Shipyard in Dongdingzhou.

These three shipyards undertook the construction of almost all the main warships of more than 10,000 tons in the Daheng Empire.

As for other shipyards, their technology is still a little worse for the time being, and they can only undertake some small and medium-tonnage warships, such as Pingxi-class light cruisers and Guanglin-class destroyers, and the reason why these two-class ships can be put into service at the beginning of this year under the heavy tasks of the three major shipyards is that they have been put into service one after another, and there are as many as seven or eight ships in service in just one year.

It is because these two light warships were not built in the three major shipyards at all, but were scattered in the three shipyards of Jingzhou Shipyard, Jingzhou Second Shipyard, and Luohai Second Shipyard.

In the field of warship construction, the Daheng Empire has taken the focus on supporting the three major shipyards, handing over the orders for the main warships to the three major shipyards for construction, but it will also support medium-sized shipyards, and let some medium-sized and even private shipyards build light warships and auxiliary warships.

The purpose is simple, that is, to improve the overall level of shipbuilding and ensure that more shipyards have the ability to build warships in times of war.

After all, during the war, the construction period of the main battleship was too long, so it was actually very difficult to start building the main battleship such as the battleship during the war, because there was a high probability that the battle was over, and the battleship was not completed......

However, the construction period of light warships is much shorter, and if there is urgent construction, some warships of several thousand tons will be built and put into service urgently in more than a year, of course, if you want to form combat effectiveness, you will have to train for a few more months, but this is not a matter of the shipbuilding industry, but a matter of the navy.

This is also the reason why the Daheng Imperial Navy, in recent years, has continued to hand over a large number of orders for light warships and auxiliary warships to medium-sized shipyards for construction, in order to ensure that more shipyards can maintain the construction capacity of warships, at least light warships, in times of war.

In order to provide the Daheng Imperial Navy with more light warships to replenish quickly during the war.

And the rapid replenishment ability of these light warships can greatly strengthen the strength of the Great Heng Empire in wartime.

After all, when a large-scale war breaks out, the Daheng Empire needs more than 10,000 tons of various capital warships, these main warships are very important, and they are indeed the main forces used to control sea power, blockade or counter-blockade.

But in wartime, it is not only these capital ships that are needed.

There is also a need for a large number of light warships, such as a large number of cruisers of several thousand tons and destroyers of several thousand tons, which are not only used to cooperate with the main fleet, but also to escort ships and carry out important types of ships on the secondary front.

And the above, and only ocean-going warships!

In addition to ocean-going warships, in fact, in times of war, a large number of warships are needed to patrol and blockade coastal waters and even fight deep into inland rivers and lakes, which are used to control and defend the country's coastal coastlines and ports, and to fight deep into the enemy's coastal waters, inland rivers, lakes and other areas.

A large number of auxiliary warships are also required, such as minelaying and minesweeping vessels.

Now mines have become the standard weapon of the navies of various countries, weak countries can be used to block waterways, to avoid the intrusion of imperial warships, and strong countries can also directly kill it, deploy a large number of mines in the enemy's sea area, completely block the enemy's waterway, before the Daheng Empire and the Gafia Empire in the Lieji War, both sides are in the warring sea area to drop a large number of mines, causing a lot of losses to both warring sides.

Therefore, minelaying and minesweeping vessels are a must.

Then there are troop carriers, supply ships for all kinds of supplies, hospital ships, etc.

The above are only all kinds of military ships that are directly related to the war, and in order to ensure the normal operation of life and production in wartime, a large number of ordinary merchant ships are also needed, and these ordinary merchant ships will undertake more important transportation tasks in peacetime in wartime, and these merchant ships are also the key targets of the enemy's navy, and there will inevitably be losses in this process, and even a large number of losses, so it is necessary to have strong shipbuilding capabilities and timely supplement the losses of merchant ships to maintain the continuous sea transportation line.

And the above-mentioned ships, whether military or civilian, ultimately need the support of the shipbuilding industry.

This is also the Daheng Empire, which has always been committed to improving its shipbuilding capacity, not only focusing on supporting the three major shipyards to build capital ships, but also supporting many second-echelon shipyards to build light warships.

In addition, it also supports the shipbuilding industry as a whole to expand production capacity and improve technical standards, so as to enhance the overall ordinary ship construction capacity, but this is generally supported by means of administrative restrictions and tax incentives, in some special industries, especially the oil industry, the Daheng Empire directly through the executive order, requiring the oil tankers of the imperial oil enterprises to be domestically produced and not imported, ensuring that the large market of oil tankers can be obtained by domestic shipbuilders.

Then there is the requirement that various National Assets Management Committees and Royal Asset Management Committees, enterprises under these two committees, give priority to the purchase of domestic ships, which also ensures a large number of ship orders.

In the case of ordinary ships, it is to rely on tax incentives, policy support, and strengthening industrial support to reduce the cost of the shipbuilding industry and strengthen international competitiveness.

And the shipbuilding industry of the Great Heng Empire did not live up to the expectations of the upper echelons of the empire!

With the continuous progress of technology, as well as the compression of costs, the shipbuilding industry of the Daheng Empire has always maintained a certain advantage in the overall cost, although it may lag behind the three traditional powers in some technical details, but it is harmless.

In the 14th year of the reign of Qiansheng, the total tonnage of various types of civilian ships built by the Great Heng Empire accounted for about 40 percent of the total tonnage of civilian ships in the world that year, and this was already more than 35 percent of the market share of the Krull Kingdom.

And it is also worth noting that a considerable part of these new tonnage of the Krull Kingdom is still exported, that is, there is not so much for their own use, after all, the tonnage of merchant ships in the Krull Kingdom is too large.

In particular, the number of sail merchant ships, sail merchant ships and early steam merchant ships is very large.

But what about the Daheng Empire, the new tonnage of its merchant ships is basically ordered by domestic enterprises for their own use, mainly because the unification of the Daheng Empire is only about ten years, before the unification, the number of merchant ships in the Daheng Empire is very small, and most of them are still old sails, sail ships, and pure steam ships are still relatively few.
